 HarborLight Credit Union is committed to “Preparing youth to be financially responsible” by helping young people build a strong foundation for making wise financial decisions. We offer several youth-oriented programs: Youth Financial Workshops Usually held 2x a year, these FREE themed workshops are designed to provide fun while teaching money management and credit responsibility. Workshops that have been held in the past include, Financially Fit—workout for healthy money management, Survivor—a guide to financial survival, CSI: Credit Scene Investigation—cases of credit, Prison Party—don’t be a prisoner to debt, CU NASCAR 500—buying your first auto/vehicle maintenance, What’s in the Cards?—the truth about plastic cards, and Check it Out—managing a checking account. Each workshop includes great giveaways and valuable information. Classroom Presentations HarborLight Credit Union offers free classroom presentations that teach financial literacy to all grade levels. If you are a teacher, troop leader, church youth leader, or other type of youth leader and are interested in promoting financial literacy, please contact Sheryl at the credit union at 231-894-5608 ext 240 for more information. Scholarships Each year the credit union gives $3000 in scholarships to area graduates. $500 each is given to Whitehall and Montague High Schools to award student(s) who are planning to further their education in the area of business. Four $500 scholarships are chosen randomly at our Credit Union annual meeting every spring. Applications can be found online or at the credit union during the months of January and February each year. Youth Advisory Board Teen volunteers meet monthly at the credit union to provide a critical “youth” outlook to better serve our younger members. Their service includes promoting and assisting with our youth workshops and National Credit Union Youth Week, marketing, school connections, and community service. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please contact Sheryl at 231-894-5608 ext 240. National Credit Union Youth Week Each April, HarborLight Credit Union participates in National Credit Union Youth Week by providing information to parents and youth to promote financial literacy. It’s a week of fun, games, contests, and giveaways for all ages. |
